In rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey, where Mein Kampf is a perennial bestseller, the truths about the Holocaust communicated by this magnificent and harrowing film must not be told. To tell them would be “Islamophobic.” “Turkish Government Fines Kurdish Channel For Showing the Holocaust Film

Showing of stuff with decent procduction values on Turkish TV is a crime as it makes Istanbul-llywood look bad...
I really LOVED that movie.
It was not particularly “graphic” as Holocaust Movies go, and did not even show the camps, yet the Turks banned it?
I think they banned it, not necessarily because of Holocaust denial, but the because the hero of the story was a tenacious, resourceful, talented, JEWISH man.
Just my humble opinion.
It doesn’t fit with the narrative that the Holocaust didn’t happen.
It was a good movie- that I had a hard time sitting through.
Not long ago they were in Ferguson,Missouri.
I have never seen “The Pianist” but something tells me that isn’t anything in there about Muslims.
Well, yes, that is true.
Perhaps because I am a piano player myself (and really love Chopin) that I identified so strongly with the character.
The scene where he plays piano for the German officer to save his own life was quite compelling!
They couldn’t do it today. The gals would have to be wearing space burqas.
Turkish Spiderman is kinda trippy.
Turkey needs to be expelled from NATO.
Indeed. The whole movie just cuts a little too close to home for me.
I hear you.
Turkey has become an enemy, and we need to be honest about it.
Who wasn't even smart enough to come up with that by himself. Seems like it's a line from a poem by one 'Ziya Gökalp', or so google tells me.
